Objectives

SPECIFIC AIMS:
The aim of this course unit is to present the basic principles and foundations of Electricity and Electronics to the "Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Industrial e Gestão" students.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the end of the semester, the students should:
1. be able to use the fundamental techniques for the analysis of DC and AC circuits;
2. be able to analyze elementary electronic circuits;
3. have practice with basic laboratory equipment: multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies and signal generators.

Eligibility for exams

- Minimum attendance to the practical classes

Calculation formula of final grade

There are two evaluation components:

- Component A: Individual performance analysis of each student in the laboratory, complemented by the analysis of a set of requested home-works;
- Component B: two 60min written mini-tests.

For students with a classification in component B greater or equal to 9,0, the final classification will be the average of component A (30%) and component B (70%).

For students with a classification in component B smaller than 9,0, the final classification will be the classification of component B.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

- 1 oral practical examination replaces component A;
- 1 two-hour written examination paper replaces component B.

Classification improvement

- 1 oral practical examination replaces component A;
- 1 two-hour written examination paper replaces component B.
